    SOBR[1st-I-R] @ Dec. 22 2006,00:04)]The HMMWV is said to withstand small arms fire. This is caliber up to 7,62mm !! So it can easily sustain several hundred shots of 5,56 or 7,62mm fire !

    My guess is that depens on where the bullets hits. I do believe that, atleast on windows, withstand means that X bullets may hit within a Y area before a bullet might penetrate. So a window might withstand 4 hits within an area of 10 cm2 but after that it might break.

    Not sure thought and don't know if this is the same for armour.

    As far as arma's problems goes having AT4 hardly registers, this at least can be fixed with little effort by the community.

    Well, it wasn't so much about problems then that I was wondering why they did like this.

    For the same reason the Carl Gustaf is a ATGM in the original flashpoint - for kicks and giggles! ... and for game balance + coolness / familiarity.

    But wasn't the AT 4 included in the original Flashpoint? It was a couple of years sins I played it, but I don't remember any CG?

    I was wondering why BIS choose AT 4 as the west-sides response to RPG-7 instead of the Carl-Gustav?

    Both the AT 4 and CG is used by the US and I believe that CG is more like the RPG-7 in usage. BIS made the AT 4 reload-able(?) and used in a way I believe the CG is used for(no military exp).

    So, wouldn't it been better to use the CG?

    I've never operated tanks myself. Darn I would LOVE to though hehe.

    Here's a quote from a Wikipedia entry though.

    Quote[/b] ]The M1A2/M1A1 can survive multiple hits from the most powerful tank munitions (including 120 mm depleted uranium APFSDS) and anti-tank missiles[citation needed]. In the Persian Gulf War, Abrams tanks survived multiple hits at relatively close ranges from Iraqi T-72's, ATGM's. M829 "Silver Bullet" APFSDS rounds from other M1A1 Abrams were unable to penetrate the front and side armor (even at close ranges) in friendly fire incidents as well as an incident in which another Abrams tried to destroy an Abrams that got stuck in mud and had to be abandoned.

    Yes, because we all know that you can always trust wikipedia! wink_o.gif ...
